I took my 10 month old DD today as we live very near to a major breakout area. I've been asking for 2 weeks and they kept saying they weren't doing it, but they started holding clinics today. Are there known outbreaks near you?Tbh if the area is under vaccinated I would definitely be asking.

I asked today as well as my baby is only 4 months but I'm worried that London is going to be hit hard.

According the nurse babies won't develop the necessary anti bodies until they're 12 months so they'd have to it again ?? She said there hadn't been any advice from department of health at this stage and advice was to still give MMR at 12months.

Best way to protect babies is to get the 10 - 18 year olds vaccinated and that's who they are targeting.

I asked the doctor on Friday (DS is 27 months) about getting his booster early. She showed me the book that has all the info about vaccines. For measles it said that any dose under 12 months should be disregarded and first vaccine still given at 13 months. The booster can be given any time 3 months after first jab.Unfortunately babies under 13 months need the herd immunity which has been eroded.
